It hasn't upset me as much as I thought I would

Woke at 4.30 thinking about the game.

I felt a lot worse when we were relegated to div 2. That was the end of football almost.

 

[give it to gordon]

Like others before the match and all week I was quietly confident. Than at 6:45 I saw the team and my confidence drained pretty quickly.
I was preparing myself for this not to go well but still hoping I was wrong and Pep was right.
It's odd but my mind set changed as soon as the teams were announced, I went to oh well that's that over.

Perhaps thats why I didnt care as much as the doubt was in my mind from 6:45. More angry about the team selection just dont get it. Every man and his dog would have played a DM we would have argued over Rodri or Fernandinho !

It's down to Pep 100% his team selection deflated me so must have given Chelsea a huge lift.

PS hurts more now than it did last night but I think I am more pissed of with the team selection now

I care. To have put in all the effort to get to the final and then put in such a poor performance is really disappointing. Give it your best shot. That was nowhere near. If you get beat when you've give it your all, then fair enough. That wasn't the case. That's why I feel gutted.

I don't care as much, and I didn't care. I am so sorry for the players and staff, as I know how much the CL tournament means to them, but personally I'm rather sick of it, and have been for many years now.

The PL is by far the most important trophy, always will be.

Pissed off that we lost.. Mind you I'm pissed off when we lose any game even meaningless pre season friendlies.
Didn't look at the team selection till just gone 7 and as soon as I saw it.. I was worried.. No Fern or Rod and playing a seriously out of form low on confidence Raz ( not blaming Raz because if you are picked you want to play in big games)..
As much as Pep gets the plaudits for picking the right team/formation he must shoulder the blame too.
I think we are all gutted we lost but in the grand scheme of things it ranks lower than I felt losing v spuds at 81 final and even being robbed against spuds at home in this competition the other year.
Hopefully we will win it soon and have a full allocation of fans there to cheer us on.

Are you clairvoyant.
My words exactly pre match and post.
Saved me writing it : )

Knew you were going to say that !

I care and I am upset for sure. But there wasn't the same depth of feeling last night when the game was drifting away as there was from 1-2 down to QPR on in to stoppage time - that was absolutely crushing, whereas last night was deeply frustrating but not end of the world stuff.

Onwards.

 

[the blue panther]

I care but the strangest thing is that it almost feels like it doesn't count as we didn't turn up.
We all wanted to see the fantastic footballing team we've loved over the last 6 months, reaching their final glorious summit, but, Pep chose to play a different team on one of his whims.
Well done Chelsea, but, it doesn't really count as we barely competed.
